Mary Wagner, A Puppet of Lunatic Fringe

During my time as a clinic defense volunteer, I have come across many strange pro-life demonstrators in front of the clinic. I rarely engage in a debate with them, mostly because my main responsibility is to make sure that the patients are able to safely enter the facility, but also because they are not worth my time. I also think it’s a lost cause—they are not able to change my mind, and neither am I able to influence their opinion. Therefore, I don’t see a reason why I should talk to them.

I have never met Mary Wagner, but she represents a major nuisance to all of us. No, not a threat (far from it), she is just a plain old pain in the ass, and a creep. Most protesters don’t come onto the clinic property, but like her buddy Linda Gibbons, she is a serial trespasser, who has been arrested numerous for illegally entering several different clinics in Toronto. Recently, she came for an announced visit to Choice in Health Clinic, which apparently resulted in a “possible” saving of a “baby.”

I really wish that I had gone to her trial on March 28 here in Toronto, but at least there was pro-choice presence represented by the Ontario Coalition for Abortion Clinics. It sounded like an amusing freak show, based on the impression I got from reading an article from the only online medium that bothers reporting on her, Life Site News.

According to the article, common sense prevailed in the courtroom that day, as I expected. I applaud the judge for rejecting her statement, which he deemed to be irrelevant, and was full of the usual pro-life clichés about “helpless babies” and “mothers” who are “left wounded.” He also ignored her request to hold a minute of silence to honour the “babies” that have been “killed” by abortion.

What’s more, the judge did not send her to jail for her latest trespassing charge, and I’m glad of it. Although she was found guilty, she was ordered to stay the fuck away from all abortion facilities in the city, which means that I’ll not be meeting her anytime soon. We don’t need another fundamentalist martyr in the making, whom the pro-life movement already reveres as their “prisoner of conscience.”

It is obvious that Wagner will violate the terms of her one-year probation by returning to one of the clinics in Toronto, sooner or later, and then this circus will played in the court again. In the past, she attested to her chronic obsession with abortion clinics, so it is likely that we might meet some day.

Wagner perfectly illustrates one of the reasons why the pro-life movement will never be taken seriously in a modern liberal democracy like Canada.With “activists” like this, it is obvious that what she represents is a self-righteous and fundamentalist fringe whose extremism is a constant nuisance that the vast majority of people will never give it much thought.

Moreover, her constant infringement on the clinics’ properties and her incessant harassment of patients provide further justification for legal injunction against pro-life demonstrators. Her very annoying presence warrants this.

According to Life Site News, Mary Wagner has illegally entered the following clinics in Toronto over the years:

People have to realize that because they believe in something, it is not automatically right.
If a pro-abortion person would walk into hospitals telling women not to have children, would she be acceptable? I think not.

So, what’s the point here? Let people make their own decisions and if Mary wants to save babies, perhaps she should go to Africa where they are dying by the truckload. Mary needs to leave people alone. she is like the fanatic religious guy who continually tells me I will be damned if I don’t believe as he does. What are these people trying to do? Convince themselves of their beliefs by forcing others to believe what they believe?

He also ignored her request to hold a minute of silence to honour the “babies” that have been “killed” by abortion.

I see that you have the words babies and killed in quotation marks. Are you suggesting that they are not “babies”,( like maybe “aliens”) and that they are not actually “killed”,( like maybe “disposed of”?) Language is a marvelous thing, but it can never hide the truth before the face of the Eternal Judge. The deliberate removal of an unwanted, but nonetheless, unborn baby, is indeed murder .Because you are an employee of this facility by choice, and assist the women coming into it to offer their unborn babies up for murder, that makes you an accomplice to murder! Mary Wagner may be “annoying”, ( your words, not mine), but you are an accomplice to murder simply by enabling these desperate women to follow through with their “choice”. God has his own laws and has no respect for unrighteous laws made by wicked people. BUT, because God so loves you, He made a way for you to escape bearing the penalty of your crime in eternity, His own Son bore the penalty of ALL your sins in His own body on the cross of Calvary. If you acknowledge your guilt, repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness of your sins, you shalt be saved from the wrath of God that will otherwise come against you!
Do not, I beg you, delay in doing this, as you may one day find that your own life has been too soon aborted through no “choice” of your own
